@samirqazi: "I recently got a widescreen laptop and copied my morrowind folder to
it, and continued my game. The game runs fine but I do not see any
widescreen resolutions in my options, and everything is stretched...
Does Morrowind support widescreen resolutions?
Do I need to re-install morrowind?"

The FPS Optimizer is a neat little app.  It will do a great job at 
aspect ratio, also field of view and other nice things.
You can probably also set your monitor to run at 1:1 or only fit 
vertically and you'd be fine.

    @nanomed: "Does the stretch really bother you that much? Hmmm i think im going to give 
it a try also, im playing morrowind on a 24" widescreen, but the stretch 
didnt bother me that much, though now i do wonder if the game might look 
better... hmmm... ill check it out.

    @nanomed: "Errrrr... it didnt work for me. I followed the instructions as per:
  1.. Run the Morrowind FPS optimizer.
  2.. Click on the 'status' tab (if not already on it)
  3.. Click the 'change Morrowind registry settings here...' button at the 
bottom.
  4.. Change the value '1024' to '1280' and the value '768' to '800'.
  5.. Save.
  6.. Run 'Morrowind'.
Steps 1-4 no problems. Where is the Save button on the optimizer? What do 
they mean here?
It has this message upon opening the optimizer "Morrowind process is NOT 
FOUND.Please launch the game."
When i change values and exit the optimizer, and lauch morrowind, it says 
"Render Creation Error: "Creation failed: Could not match desired fullscreen 
mode"".
Ok so close everything and reopen: "Morrowind process is NOT FOUND. Please 
launch the game."....so i launch the game, then alt TAB out back to the 
optimizer, now it says "Morrowind process was found and validated (v1.5.1629 
(Bloodmoon)). Morrowind FPS Optimizer should be working now." sounds good so 
far right? However the  'change Morrowind registry settings here...' button 
is disabled and i cant seem to do anything in the optimizer till morrowind 
is closed. It said something about opening a save game so i did, but that 
didnt change anything.
wtf?

Well I gave it a shot even though my monitor is a CRT and isn't wide
screen, I chose the lowest possible that my screen could handle which
was 1440x900, surprisingly enough it worked, but I needed to adjust the
monitor to make it look right.
anyway, here's what I did:
first off, you need to know what your optimum resolution for your LCD
is, every one is different based on size and aspect ratio, hopefully you
can find this out in the display control panel.
-launch the FPS optimizer
-click on 'change Morrowind registry settings here...'
-type in the proper resolution dimensions in the width and height boxes
(you may need to set the refresh rate too)
-click OK, it will save automatically.
-you should be good to go, either click "launch Morrowind" in the FPS
optimizer or close the optimizer and run Morrowind normally."

If you've made changes to the settings, Opt needs to be running when you 
start MW.  If you go widescreen, you should change Misc2 FOV to wider, too.

    @nanomed: "I still get the errors, no mater what method i try.
It didnt really bother me with the stretch, its really quite minimal, and 
you do get used to it.
Thanks for everyones suggestions.

    @samirqazi: "I have been trying to get the program to work for the last day
(downloaded it from 2 different sites) -but when I try to start the
FPS optimizer a DOS window opens for half a second and then nothing...
I suppose I can live with the stretch- and you do not notice it much
after a while- but a shame not to use the full res...
any suggestions?"

What OS?  It's worked for me on 98SE and XP.  Also, the help file 
mentions some video cards it doesn't work with.  Since it won't start at 
all, the problem could be missing DLLs, so give the static version a try.
It improves the visuals so much, eg. tripling the view distance, it's 
really worth the effort.
